Chương 90: I like it and have high expectations.

2 pm.

Celebrating the battle.

As the largest trainer battle arena in Qicheng City, this circular arena is large enough to accommodate 50, 000 spectators.

The stadium was almost full, and the sweltering noise filled the air like dense clouds.

Free matches are something everyone's happy to watch.

"I heard that today is an exchange match between Miare Academy and Celebration Academy."

"Stop talking, Karuni will definitely win. I'm her number one fan, and I guarantee she'll absolutely crush Wusong!"

"Are you from Sinnoh? Our champion at Jubilee Academy has changed a long time ago. It's the era of the genius girl Cattleya now."

"Forget about Ya, Karuni is my true love!"

"Karuni! Karuni!"

"6' Zhu Qing, in the audience.

Hearing the cheers from the back row for their rivals, Prantina clenched her fists in anger.

She whirled around, glaring at the boys in Gardevoir support outfits, and said irritably, "Hey! This is Sinnoh Celebration City! Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up for chanting slogans here?"

"Tch, Sinnoh trainers are hopeless. They can't even get past the quarterfinals. What can we do?" The green-haired boy in the lead said with a disdainful look.

"Haha, where did this die-hard Sinnoh fan come from?"

The red-haired boy next to her immediately leaned over, sized up Plantina, and then shouted, "In Pokémon battles, the strong rule, don't you understand?"

"Exactly, exactly! Our Karuni is so cute! People's values follow their looks, what do you know?"

"Stop arguing!"

Prantina was furious at their outrageous remarks. She cursed them inwardly and roared back, "I'll give you 5000! Take down these support banners and shout 'Go, Gadria!'" Prantina said with her head held high.

"5000? You're trying to fob me off like a beggar!"

"1 million!"

"... What are you thinking? Our love for Karuni is..."

"2 million!"

The three of them were clearly wavering, looking at each other.

Just then, the entire venue suddenly fell silent.

The surrounding electronic screens lit up instantly, and countless bright white spotlights slid down like swords piercing the darkness, one after another, following the two figures walking out of the contestants' passage.

Tap, tap.

The crisp, rhythmic sound of high heels striking the ground was amplified and carried throughout the venue, captivating the audience like drumbeats.

"It's Karuni!"

Green Hair shouted excitedly.

Plantina frowned and turned around, only to see Karune and Gardevoir walking gracefully hand in hand under the spotlight, attracting everyone's attention. She had an impeccable smile on her face and waved to everyone around her as she walked.

"Karuni!!"

"Karuni!!!"

As Karuni appeared, the entire arena erupted in a deafening roar, the sound waves rising steadily and echoing deafeningly throughout the circular arena.

The Carlos people who had traveled from afar, as well as the die-hard fans of Karuni, in the audience spared no effort in selling their enthusiasm.

Amidst enthusiastic cheers, Karuni walked step by step down the red carpet to her seat, smiling and relaxed, clearly enjoying the stage immensely.

Prandina's head was spinning from the surrounding howls. She covered her ears with her hands and muttered through gritted teeth, "What's so great about them! This is Sinnoh's home turf, just you wait..."

Although she and Gadria usually didn't get along, at this moment, she hoped more than anyone else that the man and the shark would steal the spotlight and ruthlessly suppress the arrogance of the other side.

After Karuni entered the arena, the sky suddenly darkened.

The originally sunny afternoon became oppressive and heavy, as leaden-gray clouds swept in, like a gray carpet, quickly obscuring the sky for hundreds of meters around.

The shouts of the audience ceased, and they looked up at the sky with curiosity or worry.

"Is it raining?"

"Is this some kind of special effect?"

"Look, what's that!"

In the dark sky, a bright flash suddenly appeared, like a firefly in a summer night, followed by more and more stars.

Countless streaks of dragon stars, trailing deep blue flames, roared across the sky, leaving behind brief but dazzlingly beautiful arcs.

"It's a shooting star, it's so beautiful..."

Prandina opened her eyes wide, involuntarily held her breath, and became absorbed in the meteor shower overhead.

Cynthia, standing nearby, also looked on with admiration. She narrowed her eyes slightly and explained with a professional eye, "First, using Rain Dance to cover the sky, then followed by a Draco Meteor Shower... What an amazing combination of moves, and it affects the entire battlefield, which spans hundreds of meters. Which Pokémon is that? Is it Garuda?"

Even so, Cynthia still harbored many doubts.

Many Pokémon can summon rain.

However, there aren't many Pokémon capable of performing this level of Draco Meteor Shower.

A single move that sends hundreds of meteors crashing down is beyond the capabilities of a master-level user.

Lu Sha is only a few days old, how could she be so strong?

At this moment, all the audience members were immersed in the meteor shower, including Karune and Gardevoir on stage.

Just as the meteor shower was about to end.

The electronic screen in the stadium zoomed in rapidly, focusing the image on the last dragon star cluster.

At the center of that dazzling energy, Cattleya sat gracefully, her gorgeous long dress fluttering in the wind.

She leaned against Lu Sha with a cool expression, riding the Dragon Star Cluster from hundreds of meters in the sky into Sinnoh's embrace.

"Cattleya!!!"

Someone in the audience started it, and soon the long-silent crowd erupted in cheers.

This is Sinnoh's home ground.

Of the 50, 000 spectators, at least 45, 000 were Sinnoh people.

Even though many people had no hope for the Sinnoh people, Cattleya's appearance undoubtedly amazed everyone present.

"Cattleya!! Wow!! She looks so beautiful!"

"Cadelia! I'm your fan!!!"

Hearing the green-haired man's hoarse voice behind her, Prantina laughed in exasperation.

You guys really live up to the saying that your values follow your looks!

She spent money to buy loyalty, and these people hesitated for a while. But as soon as Cattleya appeared, these fence-sitters instantly became her little fans.

So that's really the bottom line for flexibility.

hum!!!

As the last dragon star cluster was about to land, Gadriya and Lu Sha floated up slowly, like light feathers, and landed gracefully on the contestant's seat opposite Karuni.

After landing, the man and the shark moved in unison and bowed to the audience.

At the same moment, the cheers and applause for Cattleya reached their peak.

"Click click click, doesn't it feel good to hear these sounds?"

After bowing, Lu Sha stretched lazily and comfortably, wondering to himself about Cattleya.

He initially thought the young lady would complain about the noise, but later realized he was overthinking it.

When they appeared, Cattleya's face was icy, but the slight upturn of her lips was impossible to hide.

Yes, what young man or woman doesn't long for the feeling of being admired and adored by everyone?

I like it, and I even have a sense of anticipation.

Cattleya briefly expressed her emotions, a slight smile playing on her lips, and unconsciously tightened her grip on Lu Sha's hand.

Less than a month ago, she was feared by ordinary people and regarded as a monster by her family.

After meeting Lu Sha, in less than a month, she rose to the top position at Zhuxing Academy, stood on the grandest battlefield in Zhuxing City, and was about to represent Zhuxing Academy and the Sinnoh region to face the challenge from Kalos.

She found it difficult to express this feeling in words.

But she loved standing here, loved standing here fighting alongside Lu Sha.

"Welcome to the Zhuqing Battlefield, everyone! I'm your commentator, Da Ye!"

"At this moment, fifty thousand hearts resonate in unison, and fifty thousand eyes are focused on the arena. This is not only a clash of titans between Zhuqing Academy and Miare Academy, but also a destiny-bound duel between the strongest new generation of talents from the two regions!"

Commentator Da Ye appeared on the screen, his highly infectious voice resounding throughout every corner: "One side is Karune, the chief from Carlos! She is not only a genius trainer, but also a famous movie star, and just last year, she led Luna Academy to a third-place finish."

"Waaaaah! Karuni!"

As the commentary ended, cheers and applause for Karuni echoed throughout the venue, a far cry from the cheers and applause that followed when Cattleya appeared.

But Karuni didn't care at all.

With an idol-like smile on her face, she waved to the camera, responding to those who cheered her on, as well as those watching the match from as far away as Carlos.

For Carlos's sake, she has a reason not to lose today.

The three matches represent two regions: the new generation, the youth generation, and the pinnacle.

She represents the new generation of Carlos, and she wants to prove that the new generation of Carlos is no weaker than those regions with alliances.

"And on the other side is our Sinnoh's top pick, Cattleya!"

"She is only 16 years old this year and has been a trainer for less than 3 months. She is an undisputed genius trainer and has broken the record for the fastest to become the top trainer in all academies."

"She's a natural-born psychic, a powerful trainer who has defeated legendary Pokémon. She is the future of Sinnoh!"

When introducing Cattleya, Daye used more words and spoke with greater enthusiasm.

The audience members who didn't know Gadria before were all surprised and cheered and shouted Gadria's name enthusiastically.

Her previous appearance was so stunning that Cattleya left a strong impression on them.

But unexpectedly, this chief is only a newcomer this year.

"I'm so envious of her!"

In the audience, Prantina clapped her hands gently, her gaze fixed on Cattleya, who was the center of attention and receiving cheers from everyone, her eyes filled with envy.

"Hehe, one day, we'll be standing on that stage too!"

Pal clenched his fists, his face full of excitement, and joined the others in shouting Cattleya's name.

After the cheers subsided slightly, Da Ye continued, "Today is not just a simple competition between the top students of two academies, but a regional dialogue between the new generation of talents! It's a clash of strength and elegance, a contest of tactics and courage!"

"Let's greet this highly anticipated epic battle with the loudest cheers!"

"The 3v3 one-on-one duel is now officially beginning!"
